About Me

CURRENT MISSION

find myself

PHILOSOPHY

Believing in humanity, friendship and love!

Travelling is about meeting new cultures and new ideas. I don't like people who are stuck with their opinions and are not able anymore to accept changes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2010, my flatmate and I made a couchsurfing tour through Sweden and Norway spending our nights on couches in Stockholm, Bergen and Stavanger. It was a so-without-words cool experience. In the same year I went back to Norway in a very, very small town visiting a couch mate from that previous tour on a farm on a peninsula between frozen fjors (see my pics).
I hosted guests from Texas, Norway, Hongkong, Ukrain, Germany, Luxemburg, ... and I gained a lot of new ways of looking at things!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I love going to the cinema, so I love movies in general. The most impressive were: Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, Inception, The godfather
And I reaally like TV series like How I met your mother.

Music: I am open to nearly every music genre. My favourite band is MUSE, besides I like going to the opera or musical (unfortunately there are usually no musicals in Munich). In Oslo another couch surfer sent me to a really really great concert. It was a mix of country, jazz, soul, a bit of Bob Dylan... Thanks again, Birgit! Depending on my mood, I like instrumental music or punk, pop or soul... Whatever I need at that moment. However, I am not a Techno fan. Really I don't like techno at all.

Books: I read a lot and with great love for books. I love Khaled Husseini and Stieg Larsson, which are quite different genres. At the moment I am reading some of Terry Pratchett's Discworld Novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Alps

The mixture of religions in one single temple in Taiwan

The Norway fjords in autumn in every possible color during torrential rain.

Hiking up the Preikestolen! The weather was great and the view was even better. It was wellness for the heart.

The Pyramids of Gizeh.
